Family Fund
Family Fund’s mission is to make life better for families raising disabled and seriously ill children. We do this by providing:
Grants and practical support to make day-to-day living easier and more enjoyable
Information, connections and skills to empower families, so they can achieve their goals
Opportunities for families to have an input on the policies and services that shape their lives
ABOUT US:
Everything we do is designed to contribute to our long-term vision, which is for an inclusive society, where families raising disabled and seriously ill children have ready access to the support they need, and can realise their right to live well and thrive.
We will know when we have reached this destination when:
- Families with disabled and seriously ill children have long-term financial security, and are no longer pushed into hardship because of caring
- Disabled and seriously ill children, and their siblings, enjoy the same opportunities as children in non-disabled families, and can realise their full potential
- Support for families is tailored to their specific needs, and built on a deep understanding of lived experience
WHY OUR WORK MATTERS:
We believe that how we deliver support, is as important as the support itself, and it is what makes Family Fund unique.
- We empower. We believe that families are best placed to decide what they need and when they need it, and we design our support with them, and for them.
- We embrace. We take a whole family approach to support because the well-being of all family members is connected.
- We evidence. Our work is rooted in research and insight into families’ lived experience with family voice right at the heart of all we do.
